About This Home

As of April 2025

Nestled on over 14 acres of picturesque wetlands with rolling hills, towering trees and a meandering creek, this extraordinary home is a private retreat! Step inside to discover a well-designed and beautifully refreshed floor plan with brand-new carpet (2025) and paint throughout (2024). The large Great Room welcomes you in with an inviting fireplace and expansive windows which perfectly frame the breathtaking views and serene setting. The space opens to the chef’s Kitchen featuring two large islands, custom cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers, and roll-out shelving, and a Shaw farmhouse sink. Equipped with stainless steel appliances from Frigidaire and Dacor, you can enjoy testing out new recipes or whipping up your favorite dishes. The adjacent Sunroom provides a tranquil space to sip your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. The Dining Room sets the stage for memorable gatherings, while a private Home Office offers a quiet space for work or study. Upstairs, the Primary Suite is a true haven, complete with a cozy gas fireplace, luxurious ensuite bath with a walk-in shower featuring dual shower heads, a spacious walk-in closet, and convenient walkthrough laundry. There are four spacious Bedrooms housed on the upper level – two share a full Jack-and-Jill bathroom and a full hall bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is a versatile space and could serve as a great Bonus Room! Unfinished, the walkout lower level features in-floor heating and presents a wonderful opportunity to customize and expand your living space to suit your needs. Outside, a large Deck offers a stunning vantage point to enjoy the peaceful landscape and abundant wildlife. With room for all the toys, you will appreciate the three-car heated attached garage, an additional three-car spancrete garage below, and a detached two-car garage for extra storage or a workshop! Perfectly located, the home sits near the Burl Oak Golf Club, Luce Line and Dakota Trails, and enjoys all the amenities of the North Lake Minnetonka area. Close to schools, shopping, dining and entertainment – within 20 minutes of downtown Minneapolis but a whole world away!
